At  this  point  the  railroad  enters  and  .follows  for  eight  miles  a  gorge,  the  scenery  of  which  has  no  equal  east  of  the  Rocky

of  the  railroad  is  hewn  from  the  solid  rock  for  the  entire  distance;  through  this  gorge  passed  Daniel  Boone,  in  his  early 
explorations,  and  the  band  of  patriots  that  fought  the  battle  of  Kings  Mountain.

OPENED  FOR  TRAVEL 


HE  recent  opening  to  public  travel  of  the 
Carolina,  Clinchfield  and  Ohio  Railway 
establishes  a  connecting  link  long  desired 
between  the  middle  West  and  the  Carolinas. 
Separating  these  parts  of  the  country  are  the  two 
prominent  ranges  of  the  Appalachians,  the  Cumber¬ 
land  and  the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains,  so  that  heretofore 
it  has  been  possible  to  pass  from  one  of  these  sections 
to  the  other  only  by  circuitous  routes  around  the  foot¬ 
hills  of  the  main  ranges. 


The  existence  oi  the  Carolina,  Clinchfield  and 
Ohio  Railway  has  been  made  possible  by  a  com¬ 
bination  of  rare  foresight  of  the  promoters  of  this 
wonderful  piece  of  railroad  construction  with  the 
skill  of  the  associated  engineering  talent.  The  line 
is  now  under  operation  from  the  coal  fields  of 
Russell  County,  Virginia,  through  the  states  of  Vir¬ 
ginia,  Tennessee  and  North  Carolina  to  Bostic,  N.  C., 
where  connection  is  made  with  the  Seaboard  Air  Line 
on  the  line  to  Charlotte  and  Wilmington,  N.  C.,

on  the  Atlantic  Coast.  Construction  work  is  so  far 
advanced  south  of  Bostic  that  trains  will  be  operated 
to  Spartanburg,  S.  C.,  early  in  the  fall  of  1909,  while 
the  work  of  extending  northward  from  the  Virginia  coal 
fields  to  connection  with  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio 
Railway  at  Elkhorn  City,  Ky.,  is  just  being  undertaken. 

Leaving  Dante,  Va.,  the  present  northerly  termi¬ 
nus,  the  road  follows  successively  the  valleys  of  Lick 
Creek  and  Clinch  River  for  forty  miles  to  Speer's 
Ferry  on  the  Virginia  &  Southwestern  Railway,  where, 
after  passing  through  the  prominent  ridge  of  Clinch 
Mountain  by  means  of  a  tunnel  seven-eighths  of  a 
mile  in  length,  it  follows  the  Holston  River  to  the 
beautiful  valley  of  Kingsport,  Tenn.  From  Kingsport 
to  Johnson  City,  Tenn.,  a  series  of  wide  valleys  and 
corresponding  ridges  are  crossed  at  nearly  right  angles 
to  their  general  direction.  From  Johnson  City,  Tenn., 
to  Unaka  Springs,  Tenn.,  twenty  miles  south  the  road 
follows  the  valleys  adjacent  to  the  Cherokee  and 
Buffa'o  Mountains.  From  Unaka  Springs,  the  road 
passes  for  eight  miles  through  the  gorge  of  the 
Nolichucky  River,  the  name  of  which  changes  to  Toe 
River  at  the  State  line  between  Tennessee  and  North 
Carolina,  and  after  following  this  stream  for  forty- 
seven  miles,  reaches  the  summit  of  the  Blue  Ridge 
at  Altapass,  N.  C.,  at  elevation  2,629  feet  above  sea 
level.  After  passing  through  the  summit  tunnel,  the 
wonderful  loop  development  down  the  south  side  of 
the  Blue  Ridge  affords  the  traveler  an  opportunity  of 
noting  one  of  the  finest  pieces  of  railroad  engineering 
construction  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  This 
slope  is  so  steep  that  in  order  to  maintain  the  low 
grade  and  overcome,  in  a  direct  distance  of  four  miles, 
a  vertical  height  of  nearly  thirteen  hundred  feet,  it  has 
been  necessary  to  wind  the  road  for  a  distance  of  over 
twenty  miles  around  and  through  the  ridges  extending 
out  from  the  main  Blue  Ridge.  Seven  passes,  or 
stretches,  are  necessary  in  forming  the  loops,  and 
seventeen  tunnels  are  passed  through  in  as  many 
miles.  Here  the  traveler  may  enjoy  a  scene  of  mag¬ 
nificence  and  beauty  equalled  scarcely  anywhere  else 
on  earth.  Mt.  Mitchell,  Clingman's  Dome,  Hawk  Bill 
and  Table  Rock  may  be  observed  in  the  same  wonder¬ 
ful  panorama  of  mountains  and  valleys. 

An  inspection  of  the  loop  map  will  indicate  clearly 
the  condition  described. 

After  descending  the  slopes  of  the  Blue  Ridge  the 


road  follows  the  valley  of  Catawba  River  to  Marion, 
N.  C. ,  and  after  passing  through  the  last  tunnel,  finally 
follows  the  Second  Broad  River  to  Bostic,  N.  C. 
South  of  Bostic,  N.  C.,  on  the  line  to  Spartanburg, 
the  road  will  cross  the  large  valleys  of  such  important 
streams  as  Broad  and  Pacolet  rivers, 

The  engineering  and  scenic  features  of  interest 
along  the  road  are  so  inter-related  that  they  can  best  be 
described  together.  During  the  convulsion  of  nature 
in  which  the  Cumberland  and  Blue  Ridge  Mountains 
were  formed,  a  series  of  similar  intermediate  ridges 
were  also  thrown  up.  The  general  trend  of  these  ranges 
is  from  a  northeasterly  to  a  southwesterly  direction. 
The  natural  water  courses,  and  hence  the  main  lines 
of  railway  travel,  follow  for  this  reason  the  same  gen¬ 
eral  direction.  To  construct  a  railroad  at  practically 
right  angles  to  these  ridges  and  still  maintain  a  low 
grade  upon  which  to  haul  long  trains  economically, 
therefore,  requires  construction  work  of  a  magnitude 
heretofore  considered  prohibitive  in  the  section  of 
country  passed  through  by  the  Clinchfield  Route. 

Over  every  mile  of  the  distance  from  Dante, 
(Russell  County),  Va. ,  to  Spartanburg,  S.  C.,  in  the 
heart  of  the  cotton  manufacturing  district  of  the  South, 
can  be  found  scenery  to  interest  the  traveler.  From 
St.  Paul,  Va.,  where  the  road  crosses  the  Clinch  Valley 
Division  of  the  Norfolk  &  Western  Railway,  to  Starnes 
Station,  rugged  hills  interspersed  with  wide  valleys 
greet  the  eye.  These  hills  contain  the  southerly  edge 
of  the  coal-bearing  strata.  The  teps  of  the  hills  are 
broad  and  plateau-like  and  afford  excellent  opportunity 
for  farming  and  grazing. 

At  Starnes  Station  the  road  passes  to  the  east  side 
of  the  river  and  from  this  point  to  Speers  Ferry,  a 
distance  of  about  ten  m.les,  the  roadbed  is  chiseled 
from  the  solid  cliff  and  crosses  a  succession  of  short 
and  unusually  deep  ravines.  Ordinarily  such  open¬ 
ings  would  be  crossed  with  trestle  or  steel  viaduct  con¬ 
struction.  The  Clinchfield  road,  however,  in  its  de¬ 
sire  to  construct  a  road  that  should  be  low  in  future 
maintenance  charges  and  absolutely  safe  for  the  travel¬ 
ling  public,  has  constructed  enormous  embankments 
of  solid  rock  in  these  openings,  some  of  which  reach  a 
depth  below  the  track  of  over  125  feet. 

At  Speers  Ferry  the  road  leaves  the  valley  of 
Clinch  River  and  passes  to  that  of  Holston  River  by  a 
tunnel  through  Clinch  Mountain,  the  rugged  crest  of

Carolina, 


which  mountain  can  be  seen  extending  in  both  direc¬ 
tions  further  than  the  eye  can  reach.  The  remarkable 
sharpness  of  the  crest  of  this  hill  is  due  to  the  peculiar 
hardness  of  the  white  Clinch  sandstone  forming  it. 

From  Clinch  Mountain  tunnel  the  road  rapidly 
reaches  Kingsport,  Tenn. ,  passing  through  rock  cuts 
of  considerable  depth  and  following  Opossum  Creek 
and  Holston  River.  At  Kingsport  the  valley  widens 
into  a  most  fertile  plain,  flanked  on  either  side  by 
ranges  of  hills. 

From  Kingsport  to  Johnson  City  the  road  passes 
across  a  series  of  wide  valleys  and  corresponding  hills. 
The  uniformity  of  direction  and  the  agricultural  value 
of  these  valleys  will  be  noticed. 

The  valley  of  Indian  Creek  and  Nolichucky  River  is 
entered  at  a  point  about  sixteen  miles  south  of  Johnson 
City,  known  as  Erwin,  Tenn.  At  Erwin  will  be  situated 
the  general  shops  and  the  main  classification  yard  of 
the  road.  Just  south  of  Erwin,  at  Unaka  Springs,  the 
road  enters  the  wonderful  gorge  of  the  Nolichucky 
River.  For  a  distance  of  eight  miles  the  mountains 
rise  precipitously  to  the  height  of  over  1 ,200  feet  above 
the  river,  affording  scenic  beauties  such  as  are  rarely 


found  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  United  States.  Through 
this  gorge  passed  Daniel  Boone,  in  his  early  explora¬ 
tions  of  the  country,  and  also  the  band  of  patriots  that 
moved  into  South  Carolina  to  fight  the  well-known 
battle  of  Kings  Mountain,  probably  one  of  the  most 
notable  and  decisive  battles  of  the  American  Revolution. 

At  Altapass,  N.  C.,  the  summit  of  the  Blue  Ridge, 
the  road  passes  through  a  tunnel  about  one-third  of  a 
mile  in  length,  and  as  previously  mentioned,  descends 
a  vertical  distance  of  over  1 ,300  feet  in  order  to  reach 
the  valley  of  Catawba  River.  Adjacent  to  the  Blue 
Ridge  can  be  seen  Linville  Mountain,  at  the  foot  of 
which  flows  the  main  tributary  to  Catawba  River. 
Projecting  from  the  main  Blue  Ridge  are  a  series  of 
lesser  hills  that  extend  at  almost  right  angles.  In 
forming  the  loops,  shown  on  the  loop  map,  it  is  necessary 
to  frequently  pass  twice  through  the  same  projecting 
hill;  this  is  most  noticeable  in  the  case  of  Pine  Ridge, 
Bridle  Path  Ridge,  Washburn  Ridge,  etc.  To  cross 
the  ravines  between  these  outlying  hills  necessitates 
solid  embankments  ranging  in  height  to  over  125  feet. 
It  is  interesting  for  the  traveler  to  note  the  various 
stages,  or  passes,  of  the  road  while  passing  over  this

remarkable  piece  of  engineering  construction.  As 
many  as  four  stretches  of  road  can  be  seen  at  as  many 
different  elevations  from  a  single  view  point. 

Just  south  of  Marion,  N.  C.,  where  connection  is 
made  with  the  Asheville  Division  of  the  Southern  Rail¬ 
way,  the  road  passes  through  the  last  tunnel  and  enters 
the  valley  of  Second  Broad  River,  which  it  follows 
through  a  fertile  country  to  Bostic,  N.  C.  South  of 
Bostic  the  country,  while  still  considerably  broken  by 
hills,  is  more  of  a  rolling  nature  as  far  as  Spartanburg, 
South  Carolina. 

In  commercial  possibilities  the  country  penetrated 
by  the  Clinchfield  Route  is  second  to  none.  North 
Carolina  can  be  truly  termed  a  mineral  paradise,  In 
this  state  can  be  found  deposits  of  iron,  zinc,  nickel, 
mica,  kaolin,  lime-stone,  marble,  and  even  precious 
stones  such  as  aquamarines,  emeralds  and  garnets. 

In  southwest  Virginia  are  found  the  vast  deposits 
of  bituminous  coal  that  mean  so  much  to  the  life  and 
prosperity  of  industries  that  can  be  located  along  the 
Clinchfield  Route  and  to  the  large  cotton  manufac¬ 
turing  districts  south  of'  the  Blue  Ridge.  These 
deposits  are  of  a  quality  equal  to  the  best  for  steam, 
gas,  cooking  and  domestic  purposes,  and  in  quantity  to 
suffice  for  hundreds  of  years. 

Timber  for  wood-working  industries  of  all  kinds 
exists  in  unlimited  supply  throughout  the  length  of  the 
road.  These  timbers  comprise  oak,  maple,  chestnut, 
pine,  poplar,  hickory,  walnut,  ash,  beech,  birch,  cu¬ 
cumber,  locust,  flowering  dogwood,  etc.

The  altitude  of  over  1 ,700  feet  above  sea  level 
overcomes  the  difference  in  temperature  that  might 
be  expected  in  the  latitude  of  the  territory  reached  by 
the  Clinchfield  Route.  The  climate  is  in  all  respects 
essentially  that  of  the  New  York  and  New  England 
territory,  but  the  winters  are  much  shorter  and  less 
severe.  The  Records  of  the  U.  S.  Weather  Bureau 
show  that  this  locality  is  the  coolest  in  the  summer 
of  any  point  in  the  Eastern  United  States.  For  this 
reason  the  territory  is  well  adapted  to  farming,  grazing 
and  fruit-growing.  At  the  present  time  the  counties 
situated  in  North  Carolina  just  south  of  Johnson  City 
are  sending  to  market  apples  of  a  quality  not  sur¬ 
passed  in  any  part  of  the  United  States.  Even  the 
rough  hill-slopes  can  in  most  cases  be  made  to  yield 
large  quantities  of  such  fruits  as  apples,  pears  and 
grapes.  The  existence  on  every  hand  of  lime-stone 
that  can  be  burned  for  lime  to  serve  as  fertilizer  for 
the  land  is  of  itself  of  great  commercial  value. 

From  the  rugged  nature  of  the  country  contiguous 
to  the  Clinchfield  Route,  a  vast  amount  of  water, 
power  is  available  for  development,  and  should  in  the 
future  interest  capital,  especially  when  it  is  considered 
that  adjacent  to  these  streams  exist  excellent  oppor¬ 
tunities  for  the  location  of  manufacturing  towns  to  pro¬ 
vide  constant  market  for  the  power  generated  in  the 
streams.  The  healthful  climate  and  the  proximity  of 
raw  materials  and  supplies,  such  as  coal,  ore,  lime¬ 
stone,  cotton,  etc.,  should  make  of  this  region  a  man¬ 
ufacturing  center.

To  the  pleasure  and  health  seeker,  the 
Clinchfield  Route  should  prove  especially 
attractive.  At  Johnson  City  the  National 
Government  has  established  the  Moun¬ 
tain  Branch  Home  for  Veterans.  It  has 
expended  several  millions  of  dollars  in 
transformingthegrounds  into  a  magnificent 
public  park,  and  built  miles  of  macadamized 
roads  that  encircle  the  beautiful  buildings. 

Near  Erwin,  Tenn.,  just  south  of  John¬ 
son  City,  the  government  has  established  a 
hatching  station  for  fish.  The  wonderful 
purity  and  even  temperature  of  the  water 
make  this  one  of  the  best  locations  in  this 
part  of  the  country  forpropaga  ting  purposes. 

At  Unaka  Springs,  Tenn.,  is  found  a 
spring  noted  for  its  curative  powers  for  kid¬ 
ney  and  liver  troubles.  The  scenery  at 
this  point  also  attracts  visitors  yearly. 

The  Blue  Ridge  will  in  time  be  one  of

the  favorite  summer  resorts  of  the  country,  once  its 
natural  beauties  are  known.  This  section  is  in  the 
heart  of  the  Appalachian  Forest  Reserve  now  being 
seriously  considered  by  the  Federal  Government.  If 
ever  a  spot  were  admirably  situated  to  become  a 
national  park  this  section  is  ideal. 

The  hills  of  the  Blue  Ridge  range  to  a  height  of 
over  4,000  feet  above  sea  level  and  afford  scenic 
splendor  that  is  not  duplicated  in  the  eastern  part  of 
the  United  States.  From  the  Blue  Ridge  range  can 
be  seen  Mt.  Mitchell,  the  highest  point  in  the  eastern 
United  States,  6,7 1 1  feet  above  sea  level.  Other 
prominent  ranges  are  also  in  plain  view;  Table  Rock, 
Hawk's  Bill,  Grandfather  Mountain,  and  Roan  Moun¬ 
tain  are  most  conspicuous.  Over  eighty  peaks  exceed¬ 
ing  6,000  feet  in  height  are  also  in  this  vicinity. 

But  a  few  miles  removed  from  Linville  Falls  Sta¬ 
tion,  the  falls  of  Linville  River  are  located.  This  is  a 
natural  body  of  water  that  falls  for  a  considerable 
height  over  a  sheer  cliff.  The  angler  can  at  this  point 
find  enjoyment  of  the  sport;  rainbow  trout,  brook  trout, 
black  bass  and  other  game  fish  abound  in  the  tributary 
streams.  The  Linville  River,  in  its  deep  rocky  gorge, 
extends  to  disciples  of  Izaac  Walton  opportunities 
seldom  equalled.  Those  seeking  scenery  as  well  as

rest  and  ozone-laden  breezes  will  find  all  that  could  be 
desired.  In  springtime  this  region  is  also  the  delight 
of  the  botanist.  The  early  blossoms  of  the  trailing 
arbutus  soon  yield  to  the  showy  magnificence  of  the 
azaleas  and  rhododendron.  In  the  early  summer  the 
slopes  of  the  Blue  Ridge  constitute  one  mass  of 
blooming  magnificence  when  all  of  these  varieties  are 
in  full  bloom.  The  air  seems  charged  with  the  natural 
fragrance  of  these  millions  of  blossoms.  A  recent 
writer  referred  to  this  section  in  the  following  terms: — 

“All  the  landscape  gardeners,  backed  by  all  the 
wealth  and  liberality  of  our  modern  Croesuses,  could 
not  create  such  a  show  as  the  native  flora  of  this 
region  offers  in  May,  June  and  July.  This  is  the  time 
for  horseback  rides,  and  tramps,  for  the  days  are  never 
hot  and  the  ever-changing  panorama  of  the  mountains, 
the  steep  sides  of  Linville  gorge,  and  the  winding, 
wooded  roadsides  and  trails,  all  richly  decorated  with 
these  gorgeous  masses  of  bloom,  make  one  marvel 
that  nature  has  been  so  lavish  in  her  bestowal  of 
beauty  upon  this  spot.” 

“Nor  does  winter,  a  season  scarcely  deserving  so 
cold  a  name  in  this  kind  climate,  put  an  end  to  the 
display.  Then  we  get  the  galax,  leucothoe,  winter- 
green,  ground  pine,  holly,  heather,  ferns,  many  kinds 
of  the  most  beautiful  mosses,  and  other  evergreens,

NOTICE  TO  THE  PUBLIC. 

The  time,  special  stops  and  train  arrangements  shown  in  this 
folder  are  in  effect  on  the  date  of  its  issue,  and  the  time  of 
connecting  lines  is  shown  for  the  accommodation  of  the  public. 
All  are  subject  to  change  without  notice.  This  company  does 
not  guarantee  connection  or  the  time  and  stops  as  shown  in  this 
folder.  Patrons  are  requested  to  apply  to  ticket  agents  for 
definite  information. 

Agents  will  not  sell  tickets  to  points  at  which  trains  are  not 
authorized  to  stop. 


GENERAL  INFORMATION 

TO 

PASSENGERS 


EQUIPMENT. 

The  train  service  and  equipment  of  the  Carolina, 
Clinchfield  and  Ohio  Railway  are  on  an  equality  with 
the  accommodations  afforded  between  the  largest  and 
wealthiest  cities  of  the  North.  Every  car  on  these 
trains  is  new,  equipped  with  safety  vestibule  appli¬ 
ances,  lighted  with  electricity  and  heated  by  steam. 
The  coaches  are  provided  with  lavatories  and  smoking 
rooms,  and  are  of  the  most  approved  pattern. 

STANDARD  TIME. 

All  figures  given  herein  are  Eastern  standard  time 
unless  otherwise  designated. 


Carolina,  Clinchfield  Ohio  Ry. 

“CLINCHFIELD  ROUTE” 

GENERAL  INFORMATION  Continued. 

TICKET  OFFICES. 

Ticket  offices  at  all  important  stations  are  open 
thirty  minutes  before  departure  of  trains,  and  passen¬ 
gers  are  requested  to  purchase  tickets  before  boarding 
trains.  This  will  result  in  a  saving  of  expense,  as  the 
cash  rates  charged  by  conductors  on  trains  are  higher 
than  those  charged  by  ticket  agents.  Passengers 
should  always  procure  tickets  at  regular  railroad 
ticket  offices,  as  there  are  numerous  expired  and 
counterfeit  tickets  in  the  hands  of  unauthorized 
parties  for  sale,  which,  when  presented,  are  rejected 
by  conductors. 

ADJUSTMENT  OF  DIFFERENCES. 

In  the  event  of  any  disagreement  with  a  conductor 
relative  to  tickets,  passengers  should  pay  conductor’s 
claim,  taking  his  receipt,  and  refer  the  case  for  adjust¬ 
ment  to  the  Traffic  Manager,  who  will  promptly 
return  any  overcharge.  Conductors  have  no  discre¬ 
tionary  power  in  such  matters,  and  are  governed  by 
rules  which  they  are  not  authorized  to  change. 

REDEMPTION  OF  TICKETS. 

All  tickets  issued  by  this  company  are  limited  to  a 
continuous  passage.  If  limit  of  such  tickets  expires 
before  used,  they  will  be  redeemed  in  accordance  with 
established  rules,  through  the  office  of  the  Traffic 
Manager.  Passengers  purchasing  tickets,  which  for 
any  reason  they  do  not  use  in  their  entirety,  should 
not  attempt  to  dispose  of  them  to  unauthorized  deal¬ 
ers,  as  this  company  will  fully  protect  original  pur¬ 
chasers  from  loss  in  cases  where  for  satisfactory 
reasons  the  tickets  are  not  used,  refunding  the  value 
of  the  unused  portion  of  such  tickets,  charging  for 
that  portion  used.  Forward  tickets,  with  full  particu¬ 
lars,  by  Express  or  Registered  Letter,  to  the  Traffic 
M  anager  for  adjustment.
